The Joint Board for Bishop Transition would like to thank all those who submitted their names to serve the Diocese during our Bishop Search in the work of the Transition Committee. We had more applications from very qualified people than space on the committee, which speaks to the strength of our Diocese and our desire to be active and engaged in the life and work of our church. We want to thank everyone who submitted their name for consideration for this committee, and we want to continue to encourage those in the Diocese to be ready to serve in this ongoing process and the many parts it entails.
